This may still get into 2.6.16??? Then I'd also like to have
the documentation update in and the fix for the retries on VM_LOCKED. The
VM_LOCKED patch changes the migration API for filesystems and I really
would like to limit the changes after 2.6.16 is out.

Michael had the first intelligent comment on the use of the
capabilities in page migration that I have seen and he actually made
more sense than my reasoning.
